One word: Awesome Thanks for sharing David.

Looks like a passenger train, what is the story on this picture?

That's a lot of wheels!
|
Also - could the overhead catenary actually supply enough power for such large lashup? I would think it would overload any feeder substation
|
Yes, too much power. You can see the end of the train. It's not that long. So something must have gone wrong. But look at all the complicated/expensive overhead over the yard.
|
If I'm not mistaken it looks like the bunk-outfit cars the "System Steel Gang" used to use during that era on Milwaukee. Great to see Joes and Box-cabs on the site. Thanks for adding this one David!

Train is definitely related to maintenance. Anyone spot the 2 steam loco tenders in the consist? Plus there is a Milwaukee "company service" wooden ice reefer behind the boxcab in light blue.
